Mr. Benningsen last Wednesday.
Don't know how he feels about it now.
Talk about red tape In government
business. It can hardly exceed the
mass ol detail that must be bandied in
adjusting claims against a railroad.
Sume weeks ago we noted a slight mis.
take In the rate on a shipment of paper
received at our office. We notified the
freight department of the railroad In
question in order to avoid future mis
takes. The local agent asked us toit
return the incorrect freight bill which
we did. Then began the unwinding of
department strings. We received no
lice from the local sgent that our
claim bad been entered. In a few days
we received further notice coming from
the freight claim spent at headquarters
that our claim for 8c bad been entered
there and would receive prompt atten
tion. The local agent of course re
ceived alike notice and notified us on
his part. We began to feel we really
bad a grievance against the Railroad
Company and patted ourselves on the
back, for standing up for our rights
and demanding the return of the over
charged 8 cents. Several days later
arrived, a notice from headquarters
that our claim had been allowed and
we could get the sum by palling for it
at our local offlce., We promptly
called up our genial local agect to
verify the glad news and be said that
when he received word from headquar
ters to pay us be would send it to our
Office. This he very obligingly did the
following day and we are the proud
holders ot a check No. 73H2 for "Only
eight cents" signed by tbe Auditor of
the Company in paymentof our Claim,
No. 193,103,414. Can you beat it?

In fresh fields and pastures green last

half Mountain Lake came back and,
with a shameful disregard of thetbe
simplest laws of hospitality, proceeded
to wallop our boys with gusto. This
second seance was simply a case of
too much Mountain Lake and when It
ended the final count stood Moun
tain Lake, 32 New Ulm, 21. But, at
that, it was a good frame to watch and
is no disgrace to be beaten by
tbemeot
Mountain Lake boys.
The New Ulm boys played a steady,
well-balanced game and everyone
gave everything he had for the cause.
F. Balzer was the big smoke for Mthas
Lake securing a total of seven baskets.
The team will have a rest this week
and will spend the time up to the l*tb
io a strenuous course of preparation
for the St Peter gsme. This second
St. Peter game is tbe last number on
the schedule and promises,.to be theof
best attraction of the season. St.
Peter has defeated our boys and was
defeated by Mountain Lake. The two
teams are evenly matched and with
the advantage of the home floor the
boys should turn the tables on the in

At last Monday night's meeting of
Club Dr. 8trlckler was speaker
and his subject was "Insanity." Be
spoke of the various types of insanity,
cases of delusions and hallucina
tions and eases of so-called "scuts in
sanity," the latter trouble. In his
opinion being simply the result of
some aggravated physical ailment
Be talked of tbe great respoctlhtttty
devolving upon tbe physician who is
called to examine cases for commit
to Insane hospitals and aald tb
difficulties are greatly increased
tbe severe criticism of the public io
general. Dr. Strickler particularly
emphasised the need of the person who
suffered a mental lapse for sym
pathy and cheerful companionship.
Once a person has been an occupant
of. an insane hospital he is shunned
and feared and this has a tendency to
again disturb his balance aad. drive
bim back to tbe old diseasedcondition
mind. Tbe Doctor then laid, down
some regulations to keep in mind for
the prevention of diseased nerves.
The young should not be allowed to
use stimulating beverages, tea and
coffee as well as alcoholic drink* and
tobacco having ill effects on tbe ner
vous system and he advised all ner
vous people to give up absolutely the
use of stimulants of any sort, in short,
advised prevention as the bestcure tor
insanity.
